Things you don't want the neighbors to know:
A few quart canning jars (with lids), on the floor by the bed, work just great. You can set them in a square plastic tub if you're not confident of your aim. I use at least half a dozen, so they don't become heavy and unwieldy. Keeping them on the floor means you get down to use them, rather than up, balance by holding on to a bureau drawer knob. Then you just scoot back up into bed without ever having to turn around. The simplest solution is the best, and safest. In the morning the night's collection goes in a bucket, and is surreptitiously added to the garden compost. Retro rocks!
Cheers

She has tried Sinemet CR and it was totally worthless! I know that Impax and GSK will soon be launching a new long-acting Sinemet which is appears to be the first really long-acting Sinemet. Far more effective than Sinemet CR or Sinemet with Comtan. Hopefully, this should be useful for overnight dosing as well.
In the mean time, what do folks do about this problem? Do you take a middle of the night dose? Do you do something else? Thanks in advance.
Folks here always have great ideas!
